Quotes by D. Hawkins

Personal avowals

Living through lifetimes, conquering them and transcending them – that is how an archangel got that way, not by skipping lifetimes. Heaven needs help and it only gets helpers by getting people who lived through it. Sedona Satsang Q&A, 2 CD set, 10. January 2007

Reincarnation of Hawkins and his students

We're like a bunch of birds that tend to swoop onto this planet together and we are all gonna be swooping off together [...] time doesn't matter [...] some get to the island first and others belatedly. [...] Because we're all here now, obviously we belong to some kind of a large overall grouping. [...]Muscle test on statement: "All of us here present belong karmically to a karmically comparable migration of birds." TRUE.[...] So we've all been together before. [...] So we all evolve together, come to the planet together, go back to the other side and then come here again. We've been together before. [...] I've always had that intuitive knowingness. Like tends to go to like. We're all alike in our essence. [...] We needed a few more shorties. [...] So I volunteered. [Laughter]Muscle test on statement: "We're all here of our own free-will, having chosen to incarnate and chosen what we thought was the greatest spiritual merit and benefit. We're a pretty committed group even on the other side." TRUE.[...] We don't hang-out in lazy heaven! [...] All those 'lazy' ones hanging out, listening to the angels sing! [Laughter] Then there's us worker bees! Sedona Seminar Reason vs. Truth, 3 DVD set, 19. August 2006Reissued in CD series The Discovery, CD 6 of 6, minutes 10:55-13:06, Nightingale-Conant, United Kingdom, May 2007

Question: At what level does one remember past lives? Answer DH: About 600. It is merely a recall. You don't see it as a past life, or I guess you may see it as a past life. Now, whether that is just something within the collective [...] whether you recall it because you have owned the entire collective consciousness of mankind [...] or whether it actually happened in a linear chronology is irrelevant. Interview Conversations about the Teacher and the Student, presented by the US American Four Corners Magazine, S. 11, Pamela Becker, August/September 2007

Question: What can we learn from past lives?Answer: Past life research – there are various techniques. What is the motivation? [...] Curiosity alone is nothing but vanity. But if certain negative things seem to persist in your life, you go into yourself to the one in you that does to others what they appear to be doing to you over and over. You presume that all negatives that happened to you are the karmic consequence of the same propensity in you that you experienced in a previous lifetime. Everyone has within them – us – the collective consciousness of mankind. There may be a specific thing you are hung up on. You begin to intuit – I must have been pretty cruel to deserve this kind of behavior. You can go into a self-hypnotic state. You can learn it from an integrous hypnotist in one visit. Profound relaxation. Picture yourself walking down the stairs and when you get to the bottom you ask yourself to go to a previous lifetime with this item in mind. If done correctly, the previous lifetime restarts. Past life recall […] you totally experience […] the whole movie starts over again and you are in the movie. Not outside witnessing it. It starts again and you are reliving it and it becomes obvious to you. That allows you a full remembrance experientially. You relive it. Not recall it. That lifetime is now on. You are part of that lifetime. It can be a very useful technique. Self-hypnosis is very simple to learn. You can use kinesiology and ask if it is justified to use the technique for this situation. Will it be useful to me? Q&A audio interview with D. Hawkins, ACIM Gather, PalTalk #1 MP3, presented by the US American ACIM web radio station Miracles Center, Sedona, Arizona, host Ellen Sutherland, (Pal Talk) 54:44 minutes duration, aired 10. November 2005

What reincarnates is that which thinks it has a mind. That which has no mind doesn't reincarnate, because it has no need to. Sedona Seminar Witnessing and Observing, 3 DVD set, 16. October 2004

Question: In reincarnation, are we living lives sequentially or simultaneously?Answer: From the ego's position, it could be both, since only the ego can see sequence. Sedona Seminar Alignment, 3 DVD set, 16. April 2005

Reincarnation is optional. Most people are attached and so naturally just return. Out of guilt, sometimes we choose to undo things we’ve done, for the sake of our spiritual growth. If you can see it in your consciousness to do so, we can undo much with strictly spiritual techniques. In a sense of culpability, we undo in action. Reincarnation is a balance between culpability and responsibility. Sedona Seminar Spiritual Traps, 3 DVD set, 15. October 2005

Question: Is it necessary to go back and rediscover past lives to undo negative karma?Answer: No. Although, if you wish, you can go back through self hypnosis to try to discover why certain issues seem to be happening in your current life. Sedona Satsang Q&A, Sedona Creative Life Center, 2 CD set, 15. March 2006

The moment you incarnate you instantly forget everything. The moment you go out of body you remember. People are pleasantly surprised. Sedona Satsang Q&A, CD 1 of 2, 10. January 2007

Quotes by various other sources

Jesus identified John the Baptist as being Elijah of the Old Testament:

And if you care to accept it, he himself is Elijah, who was to come. Matthew 11, 14 (NT)

And He answered and said,

"Elijah is coming and will restore all things; but I say to you, that Elijah already came, and they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they wished. So also the Son of Man is going to suffer at their hands."

Then the disciples understood that He had spoken to them about John the Baptist. Matthew 17, 11-13, on the Mount of Transfiguration (NT); paralleled in Mark 9, 12-13 (NT)

And I was a witty child, and had received a good soul. And whereas I was more good, I came to a body undefiled. Wisdom of Solomon, 8, 19-20 (AT)

My life often seemed to me like a story that has no beginning and no end. I had the feeling that I was an historical fragment, an excerpt for which the preceding and succeeding text was missing. I could well imagine that I might have lived in former centuries and there encountered questions I was not yet able to answer; that I had been born again because I had not fulfilled the task given to me. Carl Gustav Jung [LoC 520/540] (1875-1961) Swiss psychiatrist, psychoanalytist, founder of a new school of depth psychology, author, autobiography Memories, Dreams, Reflections, Fontana Press, 1961, reissued edition 6. March 1995

I know I am deathless. No doubt I have died myself ten thousand times before. I laugh at what you call dissolution, and I know the amplitude of time. Walt Whitman [Work LoC 460] (1819-1892) US American Quaker, journalist, poet, essayist, source unknown

I certainly would not want anyone to become convinced of reincarnation solely on the basis of my research. The most I want to claim is that it is no longer fair to say that there is no scientific evidence. But a lot more research is needed. Ian Stevenson, M.D. (1918-2007) Canadian US American biochemist, professor of psychiatry, reincarnation researcher, Division of Perceptual Studies, University of Virginia, Professor Publishes Evidence Suggesting Reincarnation, Press Release of Society for Scientific Exploration, University of Virginia, Stanford, California, 22. December 1993

Insights

We sometimes encounter people, even perfect strangers, who begin to interest us at first sight, somehow suddenly, all at once, before a word has been spoken. Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky [LoC 465, work LoC 465] (1821-1881) Russian writer of novels, short stories and essays, source unknown

Every soul comes into this world strengthened by the victories or weakened by the defeats of its previous life. Gregory of Nyssa [Gregory Nyssen] (335-395) Turkish bishop of Nyssa (372-376 and 378-395) saint in Roman Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, Oriental Orthodoxy, Lutheranism and Anglicanism

The soul returns to earth in a body similar to its last one and has similar talents and inclinations. Plato [LoC 485] (427-347 BC) Ancient Greek pre-Christian philosopher, founder of the occidental philosophy, source unknown

Humans always think of themselves as the only beings. This is not the case. There are many worlds and many dimensions. […] many, many more souls than there are physical containers. Also, the soul may split if it wishes and have more than one experience at the same time. This is possible but requires a level of development which most have not achieved. […] When you look into the eyes of another, any other, and you see your own soul looking back at you, then you will know that you have reached another level of consciousness. In this sense reincarnation does not exist, for all lives and all experiences are simultaneous. But, in the three-dimensional world, reincarnation is as real as time or as a mountain or as the oceans. It is an energy like other energies, and its reality depends on the energy of the perceiver. As long as the perceiver perceives a physical body and solid objects, reincarnation is real to that perceiver. The energy consists of light and love and knowledge. The application of this knowledge in a loving way is wisdom. […] There is currently a great lack of wisdom on your plane. Brian L. Weiss, M.D (*1944) US American psychiatrist, reincarnation and future-life progression researcher, past life regression therapist, author, Only Love is Real. A Story of Soulmates Reunited, S. 63, Warner Books, reprint, March 1997

All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages. William Shakespeare [LoC 465, work LoC 500] (1564-1616) English actor, playwright, dramatist, lyricist, The Merchant of Venice, act I, scene I, written 1596-1598

He saw all these forms and faces in a thousand relationships become newly born. Each one was mortal, a passionate, painful example of all that is transitory. Yet none of them died, they only changed, were always reborn, continually had a new face: only time stood between one face and another. And all of these forms and faces rested, flowed, reproduced, swam past and merged into each other, and over them all there was continually something thin, unreal and yet existing, stretched across like thin glass or ice, like a transparent skin, shell, form, or mask of water. Hermann Hesse (1877-1962) German-born Swiss poet, novelist, Siddhartha, Fischer, Berlin, 1922, New Directions, United States of America, 1951

Our lives are not our own. We are bound to others, past and present. And by each crime and every kindness, we birth our future. Truth is singular. Its 'versions' are mistruths. To be is to be perceived, and so to know thyself is only possible through the eyes of the other […]. The nature of our immortal lives is in the consequences of our words and deeds, that go and impressionate themselves throughout all time […]. Yesterday, my life was headed in one direction. Today, it is headed in another. Yesterday I believed that I would never have done what I did today. These forces that often remake time and space, that can shape and alter who we imagine ourselves to be, begin long before we are born and continue after we perish. Our lives and our choices, like quantum trajectories, are understood moment to moment. At each point of intersection, each encounter suggests a new potential direction. David Mitchell (*1969) English novelist, reincarnation novel Cloud Atlas, Sceptre, 2004
